Hi! I potted these three together about two weeks ago. I have a soil mixture of sand, potting soil and perlite. It’s also topped with small rock. I left it outside on my deck but certainly NOT in the direct sunlight Today it was bone dry and one them as you see is curled under. I saturated it with water and bought it in. Is there anything else I can do. I want them to thrive.
What kind of sand? How big are the granules?

If you live in a humid state I wouldn’t put it outside. Because even though it may be hot outside the humidity can kill it fast in my experience.

It sounds like you did the best thing. I have a few succulent planters outside. Two get direct sun until about 3. They are thriving better than the one that only gets sun until about 10, then is in the shadow of the roof. The soil is about 90% Jacks Gritty Mix. I try to place up onto the porch when I lot of rain is expected but they have been drenched many times. I have lost a few plants, maybe 3. And some are doing better than others. I live in mid Atlantic so it gets very humid here. The green pine looking plant is hiding two echeverias. These are cold hardy except the adolphis.
